Happens all the time.. run it!! Typically the pad is too SMALL and we end up with a lip on the outer edge of the rotor. This will not happen with these pads!!
Secret: I run rear pads on the front of the 2.5 and 2.7 cars ALL the time.
The difference is only 4-5mm of pad material. Gives me a little more rear brake bias

Thanks for your thoughts on this, Brad.
Won't the rub on the rotor lip cause either uneven wear (angled) or squeal?

Run them and find out! I believe those Duralast pads have a lifetime warranty.
If you are seriously concerned? Take a file and knock down the edge that is overhanging. Wood rasp will do it. Try not to breath the dust

They'll be fine. I've run pads on my Formula Ford like that, and any ridge of pad material flakes off easily, without interference .

Have you ever put front base brakes on the rear of a base? I test fit a set they fit the caliper but extend about 1/64" over the inside lip. I then cut off the pin hole ear. I have a couple sets of EBC yellow non S front pads I believe I could still use.
